The Nile Hilton Incident

Tarik Saleh; 2017, 106, Arabic, Egypt/Sweden/Denmark/Germany, NR, Distributor: Strand Releasing

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema at the Sundance Film Festival, this stunning political thriller is based on a true story. Just weeks before the 2011 Egyptian revolution that would eventually oust President Hosni Mubarak, Noredin Mustafa, an ordinary police officer in Cairo’s corrupt system, investigates the murder of a beautiful club singer at the Nile Hilton Hotel. When he realizes that what initially seems to be a crime of passion is something that cuts to the heart of the country’s untouchable power elite, he decides to break the rules in the name of justice, putting him on a crash course not only with the system but with himself as well.

The Reports on Sarah and Saleem

Muayad Alayan; 2018, 127, Arabic/Hebrew, Palestine, NR, Distributor: Dada Films

In this “taut psychosocial drama” (Variety), a Palestinian man and an Israeli woman are caught together in the wrong place at the wrong time. Their extramarital affair is revealed, shattering the framework of lies on which their relationship is built and triggering a disastrous chain of events that forces them to deal with much more than their broken marriages. Understated yet riveting, the film features impressive, naturalistic performances. The second feature from the Alayan brothers, it’s sharply written and impressively acted. Winner of several awards at festivals from Durban to Rotterdam to Seattle.

Land of Ashes

Smashleen Gutierrez, Humberto Samuels, Hortensia Smith, Sofia Quiros Ubeda; Costa Rica, Argentina, Chile, France, Subtitled, UK Online Premiere, 15, 82, 2019

This arrestingly beautiful coming-of-age story is the kind of little gem that WOW loves to unearth. With its spare, spiky script and stunning performances from non-actors, this sensitively explores the deeply moving bond between 13 year-old Selva (the utterly mesmerising Smashleen Gutierrez) and her grandfather who no longer wants to live. Atmospheric, sensual and with many a joyous dance scene, Sofia Ubeda subtly reveals the emotional impact of her themes.
